I have to agree with a lot of the casting decisions made in the X-Men movies. They were "off" and they took away a bit from the movies for me. But, me being a huge X-Men fan from back in the day I gave them a pass and enjoyed the movies.
As for your above statement as to who could play a better or equal performance of Magneto. I'm actually partial to Terence Stamp. This is the guy who played General Zod in Superman II. The only draw-back is the fact that he played another villain in a super-hero movie before, though he was much younger.
Take a look at some of his photos on IMDB...

He's got the look down, compared to the Magneto I remembered from the comics, plus he's not as old looking as Sir Ian...
...
my thoughts,
peace.
